It only hinted that the arrangements about who was to rule where was determined by the British, French, and Russians. Faisal was not from Damascus! And he was imposed on Syria to avoid trouble with the Saudis, who were promoted in the Arabian peninsula. The Saudis could be counted on to be ruthless, trading Arabian oil for a free hand domestically.
None of the players had much experience in governance themselves, coming in after the end of perhaps the world's longest lived empire.
